Category Archives: Free Party

Sydney town has always had to push against corporate dollar driven banality, we have had to fight for our right to party over the years, as Newtown became unaffordable, people moved out into places like St Peters and Marrickville. Now huge swaths of our neighbourhoods are being flattened for an corrupt and badly planned Toll motorway complex that had reeked havoc across Sydney. It has outraged residents, upset lovers of public space and enraged supporters of public transport. The call has gone out for a mega Protestival event to express disgust and opposition to Westconnex. Sydney’s amazing underground music and culture expresses itself every now and again creating wonderful multi zoned safe spaces with a vibe of mutual care that is unique. This vibe is hard to recreate at commercial events. The event is free, all we ask is that you come back after the event and help support the blockade camp. Please spread the message to all your friends. This is a decentralised people power event, many hands are at work to make it a night to remember and send a message to the highly paid Westconnex bosses that we are not just a vocal small minority, we are massive movement and we are well researched and well organised and determined to save our city from your retro roads monster designed to profit only the very few at the expense of the majority of us…Rave Against The Baird Machine

Put January 28th aside this Invasion Day weekend from 3pm and lets get this party started… Check the Facebook event

Come join the Rave-o-lution, get involved and find out how you can help oppose the destruction of our inner city oasis, Sydney Park.

The pressure is very much on as the Westconnex land grab has enacted a wave of destruction across Sydney. Now parts of our beloved Sydney Park have been already been decimated for an ill planned carbon monoxide spewing tollway bitumen complex. Chainsaw Mike and his gang of heavy machinery and zombie contractors have started chipping away at the forested Campbell and Euston road edge of our iconic and award winning park. A community camp has been set up for many months on the front and is currently at the corner of Campbell and Euston roads. They have been opposing the carnage with daily actions at 6am most mornings this last fortnight trying to oppose this wanton destruction. The prominently 50-60+ year old folks have been an inspiration and have put their bodies on the line to hold back the Westconnex juggernaut. Now it is time to give these activists a big boost with a massive co-created free party Sydney style.

This is a shared responsibility event designed to spread awareness and nurture a consciousness and opposition to corruption and destruction that is claimed to be beneficial but is in fact detrimental to our city’s health and wellbeing.

Since the early 90’s Sydney Park has been the venue for amazing parties and happenings, it nurtured the free spirited free party movement which has inspired events and initiatives to this day. In 1995 a Vibe Tribe party called ‘Freequency’ ended in a riot with police but radicalised ( Peace, Love, Unity and respect not religious fundamental style ) a whole section of the dance community to challenge the status quo and question authority.

Reclaim the streets and many other dance and event crews were inspired by events in the park to promote community conscious projects since those seminal early 90’s events at the smoke stacks.

At the opposite end of the park on the Saturday 28th January from 3pm, the drums will be beating and inviting all to come and show their support from Sydney town and beyond to partake in this show of sound system solidarity. The Save Sydney park movement and all the freedom loving social and environmental justice movements in this land and the world are crucial in opposing this destruction carried out in order to sustain the privilege of the 1% elite who are hell bent on stealing our collective future for a quick buck.

This is a total participation event, we will all make it a fun and safe Protestival and enacted in the spirit of non violent resistance, we are all in charge and we all are responsible to make sure it runs smoothy. Police if your reading this don’t be afraid this is a conscious manifestation of community outrage, all we want is to be heard and to point the spotlight at the ridiculous, corrupt and destructive Mike Baird machine and it’s totally unplanned and vested interest driven Westconnex monstrosity.

Expect several sound systems,D.J’s, bands, performers, a cinema, info on how to get involved and much more, stay tuned for further updates….
